Depending on what age the baby is...

Sucking provides comfort to a young baby, it reminds them of feeding from the breast or bottle.

It could also be due to teething, chewing on the hands provides some relief from the pain of teeth breaking through the gum. You could apply teething gel or give them a teething ring if you want to discourage them putting hands in their mouth.
